What kind of funny cigarettes has this woman been smoking? The PC culture is entirely based upon controlling language
Where did the term hate speech originate?
I do not recall any conservative group instituting any speech code at any college or university. From which side did such onerous restrictions originate?
Was it a conservative that fired an employee from Washington DC civil service for using the word niggardly?
Was it conservatives who decided that cripples had to be called handicapped and then disabled and then challenged and then alternately enabled?
Was it conservatives who decided that a an unmarried woman could not be addressed as Miss or a married woman as Mrs. And that all must be Ms.?
Was it conservatives who insist on calling homosexuals gay rather than queer?
Was it conservatives who insisted that a female committee head could not be addressed as chairman, rather, had to be a chairperson?
The list is endless. Come to think of it, she couldn'tt have been smoking funny cigarettes. It had to be a much stronger hallucinogenic.

Political Correctness by it's very definition is politically incorrect.Intollerence of intollerence is politically incorrect.
also..according to the libs,
any tax cut = tax cut for the rich,
pro life = anti reproductive rights,
anti abortion = anti womens rights.
Pro life and anti abortion are the same thing.I am anti abortion because I am pro life. A few years ago I stated in a chat room that pro choice really meant pro death because the baby always dies.You would not believe the names I was called for that.

...and let's not forget the major Christian denomination (ironically, I've forgotten which one) which put out (oops! not a PC term) a memo banning the use of the terms "up" and "down" referring to the computer systems, as "sexist".
For that matter, Bernadine D founded the Weathermen (a paper distributed to the SDS, entitled "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", a line from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues") which killed some of their own while trying to build a bomb, then went underground, from which she eventually issued a memorandum stating a name change to The Weather Underground, because Weathermen was "sexist".
